Raleigh is Growing

To celebrate the 2022 Holiday Season, Raleigh Fashion Fest, the ultimate local fashion, food & shopping experience got festive and popped up at Crabtree in Raleigh for a special Holiday Shop & Show on Thursday, December 15th presented by Raleigh is Growing to benefit the American Cancer Society from 5pm – 9pm.

We’re proud to announce we were able to raise awareness and donate $2,500 to the American Cancer Society, a small step to help their mission to end cancer as we know it, for everyone!

The event featured one large-format collaborative fashion show with holiday party looks loaded with sparkles directed by Models for Charity, interactive experiences including VIP perks, DJ, sips and tastes, shopping mall exclusives, locally-owned boutiques and businesses popping up, plus a silent auction benefiting the American Cancer Society.

Thank you to our partners and sponsors who made this event possible. Negin Photography, Bovara Studios, DJ Ones, Crabtree, Raleigh Magazine, and our friends at ACS’s Making Strides of the Triangle.

We were so fortunate to have a survivor at our event to speak about the amazing ways ACS is working towards finding a cure for cancer and to remind guests that early detection saves lives!

Several Crabtree businesses in addition to local boutiques popped into the main courtyard at Crabtree for a truly unforgettable holiday event for an even better cause!
